Well, we did it AGAIN!!!
Kind of as a just because, and it coincided with our true halfway date of this deployment......we went back to THE GREAT WOLF LODGE!!!!! This time we shared a room with a friend of mine and her two kids (her husband works in the strike group like Mike too, so we celebrated our halfway mark together!!)
Maddy did a lot of lounging at the table with her towel. She was much more content this time around (3rd times a charm.....) but still a bit hesitant to try much. Luckily big sister is VERY outgoing and loved some independence on this trip, and pretty much had the run of things! She checked in with me at our table or wherever I was with Maddy here and there but mostly did her thing with her friend Ethan! Riding the slides and the waves!
My friend Katy and myself
Zoomed in from afar, Abby on the single tube in the wave pool
My friend Katy's daughter Zoey riding the boogie board/surf ride!
Mommy-Maddy time! She was a sweetheart the whole trip!
Making silly faces to send to daddy!! WE MISSED YOU DADDY!!!

The end of our visit to the lodge! The kids posed in front of the lobby display!!

And after we got home we went to pick Roxy up from the kennel. When I pulled down our street, this is what the car looked like. Abby asleep, and Roxy sat next to her the whole ride home!
This was a great trip, and so fun for the kids to do it with friends!! Next time we go daddy will be with us! He was so sad to miss this with them, but they will be seasoned veterans when we go this spring!!
